Of the countries I've been to, I've only been to slightly more than half of their capitals. What does that say?

For example, I have been to...
Canada, not Ottawa
Sweden, not Stockholm

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands but not the seat of national government. It’s a particular example where the constitution names a capital city but in practical terms the seat of government is elsewhere, in this case The Hague.

I have been to at least 30 cities with US embassies, and to plenty of embassies in the US. So make that at least 31.
